Had the opportunity to stay again @ The Governor Hotel in Olympia, WA last night. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the hotel had upgraded their in room Desks and Chairs which in the past were well worn and presented an uncomfortable work environment. I'd commented on this on an earlier review and had received notification from the hotel...

We spent Thanksgiving night at this hotel. It was lovely, quiet, with an understated elegance. It made for a relaxing place to stay after a hearty meal with family. The rooms are lovely, floor to ceiling windows look out at a park. I like that the heating system was forced air and not one of those noisy units that sits...

My wife and I stayed at the Governor for two days in November 2016 and the customer service was exceptional. Every single employee we had any interaction with was totally customer service oriented. The room was well appointed including a microwave and fridge, the view of the lake and capitol were great. The beds were comfortable and the room was...

Very nice staff, welcoming. Helpful. Rooms a bit small for family w/ kids but we got a room w/ two queens so it worked out, just. Wish they had a suite for families to spread out and have a bit of privacy.. Very well priced and CLEAN w/ new mattresses. Old school update. Nice.

There were only 2 lamps with 3 light bulbs and 2 of the light bulbs were burnt out. The one light bulb that was working had to be unscrewed because the lamp switch wasn't working. No hand towels or washcloths in the bathroom. Shows lack of concern for guests. We stayed here once before and found same lack of caring....

Although room furnishings, and decor, have been significantly upgraded, in recent years, plumbing heating systems and elevators are antiquated. This hotel is all about LOCATION, and exceptional lake, or park, VIEWS.

i made 3 room changes for various reason. I would have liked to have gotten a lake view in a renovated room.. Unfortunately, the room was old and worn down. I like the fact that the front-desk clerk moved me to a more renovated room however the refrigerator was not working in that room. Even though maintenance worked on the...

While I thought from other reviews that this would be a good choice for a short overnight to Olympia it turned out to be better than expected. The front desk staff were extremely welcoming and gracious and engaged. I felt that I was truly welcome. My room keys were ready with all the paperwork printed and highlighted for signature before...
